Let us cite 9 reasons why our students need to start playing badminton.
 
1. Badminton is a Total Body Workout
While you’re lunging, diving, running and getting your heart pumping, playing a game of badminton can help you burn around 450 calories an hour.
 
2. Socializing
Due to increased academic responsibilities, it gives opportunity to socialise and catch-up with friends and peers.
 
3. Badminton Improves Your Mental Well=being
Taking part in any form of regular physical activity helps to release our natural feel good happy hormones, endorphins. In turn, this can help reduce depression, anxiety and stress and improve our overall mood and sleep.
 
4. Heart Health
Badminton decreases the levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol, which can block your blood vessels and improves the levels of good cholesterol.
 
5. Badminton Helps Reduce Health Risks
For children and young adults, chasing the shuttlecock and moving around at a fast pace can aid in developing bone mass and density. This lessens the likelihood of osteoporosis in the future.
 
6. Increased Life Expectancy
A Danish study found that playing a racket-based sport such as badminton can increase your life expectancy by approximately six years.
 
7. Improved Mobility
We lubricate our joints by keeping up with our fitness regime and remaining active. It also helps to minimize other joint issues.
 
8. Badminton is a Flexible Exercise
Everyone can enjoy badminton, regardless of fitness level or health condition.
 
9. Child Friendly
With kids getting more and more tech savvy, children can learn the importance of health and fitness and learn new skills through Badminton.
